Organizer
The Quarry Project II
The resurgent interest in Freemasonry sparked by movies, books, cable television, the internet, and a generation of young men who recognize the value of fraternalism has created waves both within and without the Masonic community. Even the hallowed halls of academia have taken notice as colleges and universities have begun to offer classes that examine Freemasonry’s rich history, philosophy, and influence on our society. Noted academics not associated with the fraternity write and lecture on the subject. The imaginary veil that cloaked Freemasonry for centuries has been lifted and the mysteries of the order have been laid bare for all to see.
The result has been both a blessing and a curse. Misconceptions about Freemasonry still abound and are propagated via every possible means, a fair share of it from sources with otherwise sterling reputations. On the positive side, new Masonic periodicals dedicated to serious Masonic research have emerged and some of the more venerable publications have committed themselves to publishing more educational material. Rumblings are being heard from Masonic lodges of research that have been idle for years. There is, undeniably, both a need and a market for accurate and well documented information. Many of our Masonic libraries and museums find themselves in sore need of assistance with displaying, cataloging, archiving, and preserving their collections.
The story of Freemasonry is a fascinating one that deserves to be honestly communicated on the world stage in a clear, concise, and consistent manner. It is up to those who tell that story to maintain the highest possible standards so that, as we are taught, “the honor, glory, and reputation of the institution might be firmly established and the world at large convinced of its good effects.” The Quarry Project aspires to assist in establishing and maintaining those standards.
